Hi folks. I can't seem to nail down the weight of this engine and I'm
suspect of published weights. For example Lycoming publishes the
weight of an 0-235 as 218 pounds and when I had one weighed it was 241
w/no alternator. Can anyone help me on a C-85? If you have a weight
pls tell me what is included in that. Or give me a link if you have a
reliable published report.

Thanks. Don....

Your weighing of the O-235 came much closer to my recollection than the
other figure, and I was curious about what else I might find, so I did some
digging.

Here are links to the certification data sheets that I found, including a
link to search for information onother brands and models:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?N29C22FDD Lycoming o-235
http://makeashorterlink.com/?M2CC24FDD Rolls Royce C-90 & O-200
http://makeashorterlink.com/?K13D23FDD Continental C-75 & C-85
http://makeashorterlink.com/?J36D13FDD Continental C-90 & O-200
http://makeashorterlink.com/?C39D26FDD Search by Product Type

Note that "Product Type" is really "Certificate Holder" in alphabetical
order and then you can expand the entries and look for the actual product
type in alphanumeric order.

Don't expect miracles all the time--the server seems to get overloaded, and
did so while I was searching.

I hope this helps.
